            <code class="function">gluErrorString</code> produces an error string from a GL or GLU error code. The string
            is in ISO Latin 1 format. For example,
            <code class="function">gluErrorString</code>(<code class="constant">GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY</code>) returns the string
            <span class="emphasis"><em>out of memory</em></span>.
        </p><p>
            The standard GLU error codes are <code class="constant">GLU_INVALID_ENUM</code>,
            <code class="constant">GLU_INVALID_VALUE</code>,
            and <code class="constant">GLU_OUT_OF_MEMORY</code>.
            Certain other GLU functions can return specialized error codes
            through callbacks.
            See the <a class="citerefentry" href="glGetError"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetError</span></span></a> reference page for the list of
            GL error codes.

            <code class="constant">NULL</code> is returned if <em class="parameter"><code>error</code></em> is not a valid GL or GLU error code.
